A Variety of Issues Today

Merrill lowers Bear Stearns, Lehman and Citi... only to Neutral? Ok.

Home Prices: US Home Prices Fell by Record in Second Quarter, Index Shows... no surprise to anyone who's paying the slightest amount of attention, but still - YIKES.

Barclays shares fall despite Sachsen denial... There's always three sides to a story, in this case: Barclay's, The FT's and..... THE TRUTH.
